The Marine Cried

Our relationship is not like most. We share a telephone and a computer. Not a bed, a car, or the same 5 ft. of space.

I knew this hurt and bothered me, but more intensely recently. I know when I need to be in his arms. I know when I have to see his smile

My Marine is strong so I had to be too. Distance was manageable, alhtough not very favorable. I did it to prove to him I was worthy enough and could handle our life together.

Then I lost it. I am sick and need him by my side and hated to ask. My Marine tried to give what was required to everyone. It didn't work. My Marine didn't have the answer for once. It hurt and my Marine cried.

He cried for me and that's the bravest I've ever seen him.
